Gills plan quick return to form

JEPSON: "Hopefully we can get back on track"

Leyton Orient v Gillingham

RONNIE JEPSON'S Gillingham side make the short trip to east London tonight to take on Leyton Orient.

The Gills boss will be hoping that his side can bounce straight back from their woeful weekend performance.

"Hopefully we can get back on track," said Jepson, after seeing his side’s three-game winning streak end.

"Hopefully we can get back to being how we have been in the last two weeks because they weren’t the same lads that had been putting out for me in previous games"

Gary Mulligan (chest) and Ian Cox (knee) both started the Oldham game after sitting out the week’s training sessions but the pair came through unscathed.

Jepson is unlikely to make many changes as he has only 17 fit senior players to choose from.

Brent Sancho (knee) still has several more weeks in the gym before thinking of a return, while Kelvin Jack (knee) remains absent.

Orient, who sit third from bottom in League 1, are without a win from their last seven games and manager Martin Ling is desperate for a change in form.

He said: "There’s a little bit of a gap opening in terms of the relegation issue and we’ve got to put things together quickly.

"When you get in a rut the next game becomes bigger and bigger and we’ve now got to lift the players for Tuesday."
